About Us
ROOTS Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) was founded in 2000 by Prof Paulo Guimaraes. ROOTS BJJ has grown to become one of the biggest and strongest teams in the Australian competition scene.
As a team, ROOTS BJJ have won many tournaments and we have forged hundreds of champion athletes including World, Australian, Asian and Pan Pacific champions.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the most efficient martial art in the world for self-defence and one-to-one combat. The use of a range of techniques, such as joint locks and chokes, to immobilise or to make an opponent submit are based on leverage and control. This makes it easy for a weaker or smaller person to defeat a bigger and stronger opponent in any situation.
At ROOTS BJJ, we focus on equipping our students with a range of techniques that can be used for self-defence as well as training for belts and competitions. At ROOTS BJJ, you will learn this amazing martial art in all aspects from the fundamentals to the highest competition level plus the most efficient self-defence system in the world taught by our high qualified and experienced instructors. Learn and have fun in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere at the same time you develop your skills on the mats.
All levels and ages are welcome. We have a range of classes to suit men, women and children.
